Abstract
Neurogenic myositis ossificans is an uncommon condition characterized by the formation of heterotopic bone in the periarticular soft tissues of individuals who have paraplegia or tetraplegia due to neurological disorders, frequently occurring after head or spinal cord injuries. Diagnosis relies on imaging, particularly CT scans, which commonly show the appearance of bony formations within the muscles around joints. Management involves the use of pain relievers, physical therapy, and surgery as a final option.
